    Yea something needs to be added in at 7pm in replace of the £22 bounty hunter that has now gone.  

    If someone plays the £22 bounty hunter at 6pm lets say they are out of the tournament at 6.20 which was the time i bust the tournament last night.  There is nothing more on offer on the site till 7.30.  Most people wont wait that long and will be bored. So they will say to themselves will head out and do something else now instead of play poker.  Were as if you have something on at 7pm for them its not as long to wait.

    £5r, £11r and £22 deepstack and double chance all good suggestions for a 7pm slot

    Yup, all noted, ditto similar responses earlier.

    Have sent the thread up, and I dare say they will take it on board and address it. Might not be until Monday though.

    Thanks.

    Just seen the 10k £33 at 8pm as well as the roller, great news, pretty sure it will get well supported. Actually quite excited about the schedule tonight with this addition and the 5k £33 at 7:30, £52 qtr at 7:15 and the £240 Final at 9pm. The £55 at 7pm is decent ish but usually a pretty tough field as all of the top guys on site play it and not so many others so as echoed in previous comments there is still room for another tournament here, especially on a Sunday, some great ideas already but a £11 double chance or rebuy sounds great.

    Well done for the improvements so far. Just need some decent ones from 3pm on a Sunday and it would be nearly perfect.

    Well this is a tad embarrassing after the nice comments by Messrs Omm & Jordz, but there has been something of a faux-pas.

    That £33 BH which was showing for 8pm this evening had spawned in error, 24 hours early.

    In short, it wont be running tonight.

    Sincere apols.

    Gutted, seems to have been a great addition to the Sunday schedule, cannot see anyone who plays the roller not playing it (sat winners possibly) and would have been a big pull for other players as well. Mistakes happen, but can def see there being room for something very similar maybe an 8k progressive GTE. 

    Thanks for standing in the firing line Tikay.

    Yes, in my notes to & from suitville, I did mention that it had attracted that rarest of beasts on a poker community -  warmth - & so perhaps there is some food for future thought.

    However, if it were to run, it has to have sats, so today became an auto no-no.

    An extra big tournament would be good on a Sunday but having a 33bh at 7.30 and one again at 8 could lead to liquidity issues. Maybe one slightly earlier might attract people onto the site a bit earlier than normal? The "suits" would be the ones know about traffic at say 6.30 for a 33bh (or a 22 or 33 deep) to know whether the idea is just a non starter given numbers on the site at that time for this sort of tournament.

    Some nice ideas here and as always all feedack is appreciated and considered.

    The bigger changes may take a few weeks to be actioned but we can make smaller tweaks on the spot. There is an £11 Double Chance tonight at 7pm to replace the £22 Bounty Hunter so we will see how that performs. 

    We also have a rather juicy tournament on Friday evening!

    Well that's something & shows that the Suits do appreciate constructive feedback.

    Don't suppose that MTT will suit everyone, but it seems to be a start, & an acknowledgement that the players called it right as to that gap in the schedule. 

    Views anyone?

    Good start and thanks for listening, hopefully the players support it so we can add in a few double chance/rebuy/deepstack MTTs into the schedule for some variety.

     I know Sam appreciates all the suggestions and really does listen. Obviously there is sometimes a balance between what the site wants and what the player wants and the two may not always prefer the same thing (SkyPoker will not be keen on a three day PLO8 tournament with 100,000 starting stack and blinds lasting 2 hours starting 5/10 with a £50,000 guarantee...sorry Teeks).

     Worth posting if you have requests. Can only help to make things better.
